Good show, poor DVD quality - for die-hard fans only!.......2005-04-18

This DVD has two major drawbacks in quality department - poor sound and weird video editing. Individual instruments are lost in audio mix, Suzi's bass can be heard only during her solo, and all in all one can hardly hear treble or bass - only middle range frequencies.

The video editing is done MTV-style: quick takes, fast cuts preventing to see what's going on, no long shots, if there are some close-ups, they are really close - only the face is seen. I've got an impression that the camera man got some new modern equipment and he tried every trick in the book with it, while the editor decided that several different shots per second is quite normal for live rock performance. As a result after 5 minutes of this video motley my eyes got tired, and very soon I've got a real headache!

Artists like Suzi do not need all this modern video extravaganza - her music is a little bit old-fashioned (and we love her for this!), and her show should be shot accordingly. The show itself was quite good, and it can be seen in the second half of the program when the editor slows down a little bit and allows us to see the performance (at last!).

As for b/w archive footage and old video footage embedded by the editor into the show itself, frankly I would prefer to see it in bonus materials: complete versions of old videos and archive footage.

Five stars for the show and only one star for DVD quality ends in resultant three stars.

REAL LIVE ROCK SHOW.......2005-03-25

The thing that disappointed me is that this dvd is...too short.
Great Quatro live performace. Rock Hard is better live than the studio version; the Can The Can intro, where Quatro plays drum solo, is fantastic and only this, worth the price of this dvd.
Very good version of: She's in love with you, Stumblin'in.
The Quatro' bass solo, also is good, very good.
This a real live concert, with real players nothing has been changed in studio, like it happens in many live shows put in cd or dvd.
It's a dvd for people who like real rock.

Bon, mais un peu moyen.......2004-12-02

Les titres: The Wild One, Rock Hard, Can The Can, 48 Crash, Stumblin in, She's in love with you, Tear me appart, If you can give me love Glycerine queen Devil Gate drive (dans le desorde) Voila un appercu d'un concert actuel de Suzi Quatro. Le bon coté, c'est surtout le solo de basse de Suzi, ainsi que l'intro de Can the Can, ou Suzi assure elle-meme la percussion. Le moins bon, c'est les arrangements de cuivres, qui sonnent très mal, et qui rapelle les concerts "Grosse production" de Johnny Hallyday avec cuivres et guitare electrique. C'est pas mal, mais les fans de Suzi Quatro peuvent ne pas apprecier. D'autant plus que la voix de Suzi est très abimée, et les ocasions de le constater ne manque pas. Le punch lui, est toujours là. La realistation du concert est un peu enervante, avec ce mauvais film en noir et blanc du début qui revient dans le concert, en faisant un effet "stroboscope" ou film filmé sur téléphone portable. Sinon l'image, comme le son sont OK pendant le concert. Dans certains titres, on revoit Suzi dans des apparitions TV d'epoques, qui sont assez bien venu dans ce concert. Le bonus, lui est un inédit de l'album "Then and now", qui n'est que la musique du Suzi Quatro avec en image, la vue a travers un camion! Un peu inutile, a mon gout, une apparition de Suzi dans ce bonus aurait été le minimum, meme en photo! Ceci dit, 45 minutes de concert plus un bonus inutile, on pouvait en attendre un peu mieux. Heuresement que c'est Suzi Quatro, parce que sinon...

If you want contact me, no problem. I'm a fan of Suzi Quatro

I LIKED IT!.......2006-09-23

Few movies I actually enjoy. Of 2005, all I found enjoyable was BATMAN BEGINS and Gregg Araki's MYSTERIOUS SKIN. I did NOT enjoy THE HANGING GARDEN (one of the-director-of-THE WILD DOGS' previous films) b/c it was too strange just for the sake of it. Some people, or at least one, think this film is worthless b/c it is total fiction. Well...most films are fiction. Non-fiction usually ends up being heavily dramatized anyway and it's all the same stories. Some sad doctor (Patch Adams, Awakenings, A Beautiful Mind etc.) or charitable being (Michael Collins, Jerry McGuire - spelling??? -, Schindler's List, etc.) and then the leading lady falls in love and bla bla bla. I don't know what THE POINT of this film is, but i enjoyed it. Perhaps if you're not really into global issues and don't know everything that's happening worldwide, you might enjoy this film more, 'cause it won't feel like your emotions are being manipulated. If I had known this story was pure fiction, I probably would have turned it off somewhat soon after the film began. Some people aren't consious enough about what they're watching to care if their emotions are being manipulated or simply stimulated, so they end up losing half of the film (such a person is my mother). Some reviewer (or maybe it was an advertiser) said this film was intimate. I tend to agree. The characters are still stuck to my heart like blood.

Why pay for this .... ?.......2005-04-12

Apparently nobody is buying this c---p and this is how it should be. Worthless fiction about a place that doesn't exist, even if the director I'm sure may feel it is documenting something. It's only a document about his sick mind. Only in Canada we are lucky enough to be shown such total aberation, even if nobody is interested.
